#QR Code Readers

[indigosunsetao3]

You walk past the new gym every morning to see four extremely large, intimidating men working out. You saw it on accident one morning, but since then, you’ve made it a habit to walk that way to work. Seeing them sweat, push one another for one more rep, and challenge each other makes something in your stomach squirm.

You tell yourself you’re being a creep, that this will be the last time. But then, as if the universe heard you trying to take away the highlight of your day, you see a sign up paper in the window. One free month.

A month wouldn’t hurt.

You could just walk on the treadmill and watch them. Get the fantasies and thoughts out of your head, then slip away into the night. Like the stalker you were.

You sign up using the QR code with your phone and show up the next morning. It’s strangely empty except for your the four men were there. Already deep in their workouts, with towels tucked in their shorts or tossed over shoulders. Sweet dripping down their backs and faces as they do yet another set of pull ups.

Staking claim to a treadmill, you get to walking, doing your best not to downright stare now that you have an uninterrupted view. It’s difficult, especially when the grunts and pants of exertion make your toes curl.

They don’t pay you too much mind the first few days. But then the biggest, and scariest, of the four approaches you, and asks why you never use any of the other equipment. You stammer out your lack of knowledge or skill and he shushes you saying he’ll show you himself.

You don’t question him or try to tell him no. You feel silly as you learn on the lightest weights as they lift barbells stacked to your body weight like it’s nothing. Your exact weight, actually. Weird.

Week two, Kyle, as he introduces himself, notices you limping a bit. Bit stiff getting on and off the equipment and groaning as you stand. He offers to help you stretch properly. Laying you out on the floor and bending you this way and that. Getting you to groan and sigh in relief as his palms brace your thighs.

Week three, Johnny has you watching him to perfect your form. He asks you to look at how straight his back is in a push-up and feel how his abs move on the standing crunch machine. Then he has you doing the same moves with his hands across your abdomen and back, making sure your core is tight. He grips you a bit hard as you fight to get that last push up grunting from the effort.

By the time your last free week rolls around, you're beginning to question your plan. This was supposed to be a month of getting these guys out of your system. A month of all the fantasies your heart could desire, then walking away. But you don’t want it to end. And it seems they don’t want it to finish either. John approaches you with an offer to continue your trial. You tell him you can’t afford it, not even knowing the price, you can’t take on another expense.

John insists it’s okay. He says he talked to the manager and worked out a deal. You’re making such progress, and they’d miss the company if you left. They need more people using the gym to attract customers anyway.

Which, you realize, is just you and these four guys. There are never any other patrons there. You assumed it was because of how early you’d all work out. But even in the evenings on your way home the space is barren. No one using the equipment and the lights dim.

You agree, sheepishly.

John gives you a wicked grin and a form that oddly has all your information on it already. You just need to read it over, so you start going through all the boring legal parts. But you can feel them all staring as you go paragraph by paragraph. Johnny is standing right next to you with a pen, eager and all smiles. The pressure makes you flip to the last page and just sign. It’s not like they could lock you into something that bad, right? It’s just a gym membership.

“Now the real training begins,” Simon states quietly, pulling the ten page contract out of your hands as Kyle pulls the blinds and flips the lock.

This is a first draft, jetlagged thing and needs. Rework to give the forceful personalities more input. But I think you will enjoy anyway.

Lays of the Hearth Fire, modern AU: Buru Tovo gets a phone and is using it to ruin his younger cousins' lives.

It was well known in Solaara that Secretary of State Mdang would not tolerate emoluments of any kind, so when he took his Buru Tovo to his favorite hot pot restaurant, the waiters made them wait ten minutes for a table and promptly abandoned them there. Buru Tovo watched as Cliopher, without breaking his explanation, pulled up the menu from the QR code and passed it over to him. It occurred to Cliopher belatedly that Buru Tovo might not know how to use a touch screen – he had certainly never seen him operate a phone – but by the time he finished his sentence Buru Tovo seemed to have figured out how to scroll.

He pointed at what he wanted and told Cliopher, and Cliopher sighed a little at the technical ineptitude of the older generation, took his phone back, entered the order, and paid. He thought little of it at the time; he was far more concerned with ensuring Buru Tovo was comfortable, and as little disappointed by Cliopher’s life in Solaara as he could be.

He’d really just been hoping Buru Tovo would enjoy the whole prawns.

---

Some months and far too many sudden jet trips later, Cliopher found himself sitting in Gorjo City with Fitzroy, across the table from Buru Tovo at a restaurant that wasn’t Esha’s. It wasn’t that Esha would disapprove, she happily acknowledged the joy of good junk food, but he suspected she would have some feelings about his taking the Last Emperor of Astandalas to a fry shop. Even a good fry shop. Even the one Buru Tovo sat at to play dominoes when he was in Gorjo City.

He was watching Buru Tovo quietly and politely grill Fitzroy on his aptitude and Islander when he heard what was unmistakably the sound of a Grindr notification. He glanced at Fitzroy, whose hand reached toward his pocket and stilled again; not his. Well and good, except that in the next lull of conversation Buru Tovo pulled a phone out of his grass skirt and, with the air of the very old, swirled his finger several inches from the screen before distinctly swiping right and putting the phone away again as if nothing had happened.

Cliopher wondered briefly if his Buru Tovo’s husband – Vou’a – knew that Buru Tovo was swiping right on hookup apps, and decided this was none of his business. It was, after all, far more surprising that Buru Tovo knew how to use a phone. He had not, to Cliopher’s knowledge, handled money until he had come to visit Cliopher in Solaara. Cliopher was fairly certain that if Buru Tovo had suddenly gotten money somewhere, purchased a phone, and obtained a phone plan, someone in the family would have mentioned it.

He wouldn’t have mentioned it to Buru Tovo, except that there was a TV playing the news in the corner of the restaurant. Buru Tovo sat facing it, and when they heard Prince Rufus’s voice describing the latest legislation he was taking a stand against, Cliopher sighed involuntarily.

Buru Tovo shook his head disapprovingly. “That man,” he said, in tones of agreement, “does not understand the give and the take.”

Fitzroy coughed around his sandwich. Cliopher reached over and gave him a few hearty pats on the back, which seemed to help.

And he wouldn’t have commented on that except his cousin Faila was at the next table, and she caught the motion of Cliopher whacking Fitzroy’s back and said, “Why, it’s Cousin Kip! You look fine in those fancy clothes. Is Tovo making inappropriate comments about politicians again?”

“Again?” Cliopher echoed. He looked at Buru Tovo, tongue caught. Look. Listen. Questions later.

But Buru Tovo was in a forthcoming mood. He shook his head sadly. “Spent some extra time in Solaara after you left,” he said. “Those politicians, eh, very handsome young men, but disappointing.”

Cliopher was not sure he was prepared to grant Buru Tovo either the handsome or the young part of that description, though he had certainly had his share of disappointments.

Faila rolled her eyes, a gesture so redolent of their shared youth when she was starting at the puppet theater that Cliopher was struck with a sudden bout of déjà vu.

“Ever since he got back from Solaara he’s inseparable from that thing,” she complained. “We told him it’s not healthy, but he’s completely addicted to it. As bad as my granddaughter.”

Some people, Kip was reminded, had grandchildren. He restrained his sigh. The Grindr notification chimed again.

“It’s a good way to meet people,” Buru Tovo said blandly. “I am making friends with princes all over the world.”

“Friends,” Faila repeated sarcastically. “Princes. Half of them are real politicians, and the other half claim that if he just wires them money they’ll send him twice as much in return.”

“He doesn’t send them -” Cliopher began. Pig butchering scams were one of the problems he’d been glad to leave in Aioru’s hands.

“Of course not,” Buru Tovo said. “Couldn’t figure out the wiring nonsense. I just give them the bank information.”

Fitzroy, who had read Cliopher’s report on the pig butchering at least, looked appalled. He had agreed on the priority Cliopher had assigned the problem, and so on their not having gotten round to it before handing the government over to Aioru. Cliopher had been glad, when Fitzroy – his Radiance that was – left to find his heir, that at least he knew not to answer the pig butchering ledes. It was one less thing to worry about. Had been one less thing to worry about.

“You just give them the -” Cliopher began, a second time.

“Bah. I’m not using it,” said Buru Tovo, inarguably. He didn’t use money, after all. Cliopher could see the logic. If there was anything in the account – if the account existed in the first place – someone ought to get use out of it. And the stipend had, after all, in part, been Cliopher’s attempt at an answer to the problem of scams. No one could be entirely taken in if they could always count on having something to live on. “They all seem worried when they look at it anyway. Keep telling me to take the stipend again.”

“All?” Fitzroy inquired mildly, his eyes dancing. Fitzroy could not be trusted with family matters.

“Maybe you can talk him out of it,” Faila said, gathering her things. “I’m done trying.”

“Young people don’t know how to live without all these modern gadgets,” Buru Tovo said, waving his phone. “I tell them how to start fires, find food on the islands, get their passports back from their supervisors…”

Cliopher blinked. “You’re being tanà. To scammers.”

Buru Tovo was abruptly more serious. “If someone comes to the tanà for answers, he does not get turned away.”

“So they’re. Wontok?” Cliopher asked, several things clicking together in his head.

Buru Tovo huffed. “Don’t have to be Islander to come to the tanà for help,” he said. “You taught me that.”

His phone dinged again. He picked it up, scowled, swiped left; then made an impressed face, nodding, and swiped authoritatively – if still in the most geriatric fashion Cliopher could imagine.

“Palace guard training them up well these days,” Buru Tovo commented, and spun his phone round for Fitzroy to take a look.

Are QR Codes Permanent? A Quick Overview

R codes have become an essential tool for sharing information quickly. But a common question is: Are QR Codes Permanent?

There are two types of QR codes: static and dynamic.

Static QR Codes: These are permanent. Once created, the data cannot be changed, making them ideal for long-term use on business cards or product packaging.

Dynamic QR Codes: These allow you to change the linked data even after creation. However, they rely on external hosting services, which means they may expire if the service is discontinued.

NFC vs. QR Code Business Cards: Which One is Right for You?

In a world where networking is vital, digital business cards have become a game-changer. NFC (Near Field Communication) business Cards and QR Code business cards are two popular options for quickly sharing contact information and other digital content. Each has its strengths, but how do you choose the one that best suits your needs? Here’s a straightforward comparison of NFC vs. QR Code business cards, highlighting their key differences, ease of use, and features to help you make an informed decision.

Understanding NFC Business Cards

NFC (Near Field Communication) is a wireless technology that enables devices to communicate when they are nearby, usually within a few centimeters. NFC business cards have embedded chips that store data, which can be read by tapping a smartphone against the card.

Key Features of NFC Business Cards:

Ease of Use: NFC cards are incredibly easy to use. With a simple tap, users can instantly share contact information, social media profiles, websites, or other digital content without the need to open any apps.

Technology Integration: NFC business cards leverage advanced technology, offering a seamless experience for users with modern smartphones.

Customization: Data on NFC chips can be updated or customized to meet various needs, such as sharing a portfolio or sending users to a specific website.

Speed: NFC technology allows for almost instantaneous data transfer, making it faster than scanning a QR code.

Professional Appeal: NFC cards feel modern and tech-savvy, making them ideal for industries where innovation is key.

However, NFC business cards do have some limitations. Not all smartphones are equipped with NFC readers, especially older models. Additionally, these cards can be more expensive to produce compared to traditional QR code cards.

Understanding QR Code Business Cards

QR (Quick Response) codes are 2D barcodes scannable by smartphones. When scanned, the code directs users to a website, social media page, or other digital content.

Key Features of QR Code Business Cards:

Wide Compatibility: Almost all smartphones come with built-in QR code scanners, either within the camera or through a downloadable app, making it highly accessible.

Cost-Effective: QR code business cards are generally cheaper to produce than NFC cards. You only need to print the QR code on the card, and it can be scanned multiple times.

No Additional Tech Required: Since scanning QR codes requires no special hardware, it can be used by a broader audience, including those without NFC-enabled phones.

Customizable: Just like NFC cards, QR codes can be linked to various forms of content, such as websites, portfolios, or social media profiles.

Printable: QR codes can be added to any material, whether it’s a business card, a flyer, or even a product package.

However, QR codes have some downsides. They require users to open their phone’s camera or an app, which might take slightly longer than NFC’s tap-and-go functionality. Additionally, scanning QR codes in low light or from a damaged surface can be tricky.

A Side-by-Side Comparison

Feature NFC Business Cards QR Code Business Cards

Ease of Use - Tap to transfer information instantly - Requires opening camera to scan code

Cost - Higher due to NFC chip production - Lower, simply print the QR code

Speed - Instantaneous data transfer - Slight delay due to the scanning process

Customization - Easily programmable and updatable - Customizable but fixed once printed

Compatibility - Limited to NFC-enabled devices - Works with nearly all smartphones

Durability - Chip could wear over time - QR codes can be damaged or faded

Which is Best for Your Business?

Choosing between NFC and QR code business cards depends on your business needs, audience, and budget.

NFC Cards: These are ideal if you want to present yourself as cutting-edge and tech-savvy. If your audience is likely to have modern smartphones and you’re looking for an easy, fast, and seamless way to share data, NFC cards are a great option. Industries like tech, marketing, and startups may benefit from the professional appeal of NFC business cards.

QR Code Cards: If you’re looking for a cost-effective solution that can reach a broader audience, QR code business cards are a solid choice. They work with nearly any smartphone and don’t require special hardware, making them more accessible to people who may not have the latest technology. They are also perfect for mass distribution, especially in industries like retail, events, or hospitality.

Final Thoughts

Both NFC and QR code business cards have their unique benefits and challenges. NFC cards provide a sleek, modern approach to networking but come with higher costs and limited compatibility. QR code cards are highly accessible and affordable but may not offer the same speed or ease of use as NFC cards. By considering your target audience, business goals, and budget, you can decide which type of digital business card will best suit your needs.
